"What?" The old lady looked around guiltily after hearing this.

Then he said, "According to what you said, the Prince Regent's Mansion knows everything that happens in our house? Then how can we have any privacy in our house? Quickly send someone to drive those people away!"

"Mother, you think too highly of me." Chu Jun said.

The old lady looked at Chu Jun and Yun Ying angrily, then snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

But Yunying couldn't let her go so easily as there were still some things that hadn't been resolved today.

So he quickly said, "Mother, please don't leave in a hurry. There is something else that needs your witness. Otherwise, if you say that I treated Chu Yutao unfairly, then I will die unjustly."

"What's the matter?" the old lady asked impatiently.

"These past few days I sent people to check out our mansion's shops in the city. The actual revenue was not what was recorded in Wang Man's account books. The shops were making considerable profits in the areas where they were located, and it just so happened that Chu Yutao went to the shops to get money that day. Only then did I know that Wang Man had secretly given most of the money earned from the shops to Chu Yutao over the years. She changed the accounts."

"Now these shopkeepers were all Wang Man's own people when she was alive. They will definitely say one thing in public and another in private about the things I arrange. And even if I stop them openly, there will definitely be other operations in secret. So I ask my husband and mother to make the decision." Wang Man said slowly.

After saying that, he looked at the old lady and Chu Jun and waited for their reply.

How could the old lady know these things? Wang Man kept these things a secret.

Even Li Jing, who used to be good friends with her, was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would dare to cook the books.

The old lady was surprised at first, but then she reacted and said, "Since you don't want me to take care of these things, then you can handle them yourself. I'm old now, and I can't worry too much, so I'll go back first."

"Okay, then if you are dissatisfied with the way your daughter-in-law handles this matter next time, you must remember what you just said. Goodbye, mother." After saying this, Yunying bowed slightly to the old lady.

The old lady then realized that Yunying was waiting for her here.

But the words have been said, and it is not easy to regret now. I can only swallow my anger and wait for the future.

Then he walked out without looking back.

Li Jing, who was standing by, saw this and quickly stepped forward to flatter her: "Oh, sister-in-law, you are really amazing now. I admire you a lot."

After hearing this, Yunying turned to her and asked, "Do you two have anything else to do?"

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first. Qianqian's wedding is coming up soon, and we're quite busy here."

After Yunying finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Li Jing quickly stepped forward and said, "Hey, we are all family. If you are too busy, just ask. How about I go with you, sister-in-law?"

"No. Thank you." Yunying said.

Watching Yunying walking further and further away, Chu Jun quickly followed behind.

Li Jing was so angry that her face turned black. She stamped her feet and looked at Chu Ming and said, "Look at her attitude. I don't want to be rejected."

Chu Ming felt unhappy watching the two people going away. He hadn't accomplished much in these years. He just relied on the name of the eldest brother all day long and hoped that people outside would at least give him some face.

Although the two families were now separated in their accounts, they both lived in the general's mansion after all, so he had no say in the mansion.

Thinking of this, he could only sigh and looked at Li Jing and said, "You also know what our status is in the mansion. Just bear with it. If you can curry favor with the eldest sister-in-law, our lives will definitely be better in the future."

Li Jing got angry when she heard this, and looked at him and said, "Humph! You told me to be patient! But you stayed in those seductresses' rooms all day long, and never thought about me at all. Now you need me and ask me to please your sister-in-law. You have no face."

Chu Ming's face turned sour immediately after hearing this. He snorted and said, "Then do as you please. If you don't want your child to have a good future, just do as you did before."

After saying this, he just shook his sleeves and left.

-

Chu Jun followed Yunying to Bishui Yunju.

After entering the house and sitting down, Yunying asked directly: "What do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with what I just said?"

"Of course it depends on you. If those people can be subdued and follow your arrangements, that's the best. If not, then we can just change them."

Yunying nodded and said, "Yeah, I think so too. But Chu Yutao is used to going to the shop over there to get money, what if he goes there to make trouble?"

Chu Jun knew that what Ah Ying wanted was just an attitude. If she stopped Yu Tao from going to the shop to ask for money, and he condoned her or did not express his opinion, which led to Yu Tao becoming even more unrestrained, then Ah Ying would certainly be difficult to deal with.

"Just handle it as you see fit. I have a rough idea of ​​what Yu Tao has done over the years. He is not a good student. The master at Situ College also told me about some of his deeds. If you..."

Yunying knew what he was going to say and reached out to interrupt him. "I won't. His mother taught him for many years. It's good enough that he doesn't hold any grudge against me. You should know better than me what kind of person he is. Don't say this again in the future."

"But he is only a child after all."

Yunying almost laughed out loud at this, "If you are soft-hearted towards him, you can find another master to teach him. I can't do anything about it. Okay, go back. I have to go to Qianqian's place later to check the betrothal gifts."

"I will go with you."

"It's up to you." After saying that, Yunying stood up and walked towards Ziyanyuan where Chu Qianyu was.

Chu Jun sighed as he looked at her back. It seemed that he had said something wrong again and made Ah Ying angry.

When Yunying arrived at Ziyan Garden, she saw Chu Qianyu sitting in the yard, watching the servants carrying the betrothal gifts into the house on the west side.

Turning around, he saw Yunying and Chu Jun approaching. He then stood up, bowed slightly to them and said, "Mother, Father."

"Well, how's your order? Are the numbers right?" Yunying said.

"Everything is in place, and this is coming to an end. It will be done soon."

Yunying took a look and saw that there really wasn't much left. She also believed that Qianqian could handle it, so she didn't ask any more questions. So she said, "Mother came to see you for another matter. It's about the wedding dress. Mother was wondering if you would like to participate in making the wedding dress and embroider some things on it? And you can go to the embroidery room tomorrow to see how the wedding dress looks like?"

Chu Qianyu thought for a while and said, "Mother, I haven't done housework for a long time, so my hands may be a little rusty. If I ruin the wedding dress, it may not be worth it. Let's forget it. And the wedding dress that mother prepared for her, her son will trust it. It must be very good."

"That's fine. If you want to go, go and have a look. If you don't want to go out, forget it."

"Yeah, okay." Chu Qianyu nodded slightly.

She had no time to think about wedding dresses these days. As long as she could wear them, it was enough.

They chatted for a while before Yunying and Chu Jun left.

After Chu Qianyu entered the room, she said to Shuang Ning who was standing beside her, "What did the old lady in the front hall say to my mother and the others just now?"

"My dear lady, the people in front just said that the old lady wants to use your betrothal gift to marry the eldest young master."

"What?" Chu Qianyu suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"It's true. Madam was also angry at the time, so she asked the servants to deliver the betrothal gifts directly."

"It's amazing that she could think of this. She doesn't even consider what kind of person Chu Yutao is and whether he can afford my things!" Chu Qianyu said coldly.
